Welcome To NATURAMA

How it All Began

Endymion Beer has been self employed since 1993 and founded Naturama in 2004. This small business is actually an expansion and professionalization of Endymion’s already existing freelance work as a writer, illustrator and green tourist guide - teaching people about wildlife in the Westcountry.

It all began in 1993, with the arrival of a young grey squirrel that was suffering from contact blindness - having been sprayed in the eyes by a type of herbicide. Grey, as he was named, lived with Endymion and friends for ten years as her personal companion.

She kept diaries about him as well as about the flora and fauna of Anchor Woods, behind which they lived. Endymion began making notes for children’s stories, illustrating storyboards for the Children’s Hospice South West and soon realised she had the makings of a sizable book if pursued.

Having been published since the age of 18, Endymion later worked on a weekly basis for the North Devon Gazette voluntarily for three years, as well as for various magazines for small fees. She stopped writing articles for a while in order to focus on writing her first book ‘Down Ferny Lane’.

On her 30th birthday, her friend, colleague and namesake, Trevor Beer MBE, had a single draft copy produced via Edward Gaskell of Lazarus Press, and from there many more illustrations were produced. Down Ferny Lane was born! With a product now to sell, so the small business Naturama was founded and more books have followed thanks to National publishers, Halsgrove House of Somerset.

Mission Statement

Endymion says:

"I have chosen to dedicate my life to help and promote the awareness of flora and fauna wherever I can. Since we are at the head of our food-chain, I believe all species lower down in that same food-chain should be carefully considered as our indicator species. Therefore a safe way forward for us is a healthy environment full of wild habitats and healthy, diverse populations of flora and fauna."
